Hi @Syndicate_Admin ,

 

If you want to filter the latest version for per date group, you can try the following steps.

 

1. Add a custom column to get date values.

 

= Text.Start(Text.Select([Name], {"0".."9"}),4)

2. Filter the rows that contain "_rev" and do not start with "~$" in the Name column.

3. Sort the Name column in descending order.

= Table.AddIndexColumn([All],"Index",1)

6. Remove all columns except column Data, then extend column Data.
